All,

I run qmail 1.03, vpopmail 5.4.18 and maildrop 2.0.4. I accidentally deleted the .mailfilter file for my account. During recreation, I am unable to get the filter to run properly. Any attempt by qmail-send to execute the mailfilter ends with the following error message:

@40000000462ecceb2c7439e4 delivery 359: deferral: /usr/bin/maildrop:_Cannot_create_pipe./

The following error message also appears in the maildrop.log file

!Err: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox (1047)

I searched Google for the "pipe" error message, but couldn't find anything useful.

Below is a copy of the .mailfilter file I am currently testing:

SHELL="/bin/bash" import EXT import HOST VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox" VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST` VDOMHOME=`dirname "$VHOME"` logfile "/var/log/maildrop.log"

`test -f $VDOMHOME/.qmail-$EXT` if ( $RETURNCODE == 1 ) { xfilter "/usr/local/bin/tnefclean -f" to "$VPOP" }

Could someone please tell me what further information I need to provide or where else I need to look to diagnose this problem?
